Frank stayed with my 2 dogs for 4 days. He provided daily updates with pictures. When I returned my dogs were fine and the house was in order. Would definitely recommend him!

Francisco is an amazing dog-sitter. He takes such good care of Gizmo and sends plenty of pictures so we don't have to worry about him! Francisco is very flexible, responds quickly to messages, and our house is always the same way that we left it. I used to get nervous about leaving Gizmo behind on trips but now I know Francisco is giving him plenty of love and exercise! I definitely recommend Francisco.

Francisco was the best sitter we have had with Rover so far! He came to meet Gizmo and he was very flexible when we had to change the time we needed him to arrive. He sent us plenty of pictures of Gizmo, took him on long walks so he could get all his exercise, and even texted us when he thought Gizmo needed more food. We thought Francisco was very attentive and thoughtful and we ...

I LOVE DOGS, I'LL PROTECT YOUR DOG

I had at one time 3 Bichon Frise dogs, I walked them every day rain or shine. I treated them with respect, I was kind but firm with them. They never missed a meal. I played with them. They always got their shots at the Veterinary clinic. I love to pet them. I washed & bathed them. They were professionaly groomed when needed. I treated them y if they were my children.

I had at one time 3 Bichon Frise dogs, I walked them every day rain or shine. I treated them with respect, I was kind but firm with them. They never missed a meal. I played with them. They always got their shots at the Veterinary clinic. I love to pet them. I washed & bathed them. They were professionaly groomed when needed. I treated them y if they were my children. I am gentle with them. When 2 of them were ready to be put to sleep, it was done professionaly & with dignity. The one remaining dog (Baxter), when he got lonely I made sure he got extra attention & care because he missed his 2 buddies. Baxter is still alive & doing well. He survived the trauma of losing his 2 buddies. One of my 3 Bichons Blazer, who has since passed, had diabetis. I gave him his required shot 2x daily, checked his urine for ketones, took him to the Metropolitan Veterinary clinic where a Veterinarian doctor who specialized in Internal medicine checked his progress, fed him special food designed for diabetic dogs, added boiled chicken breasts to this particular food and just generally made sure that I was doing all I possibly could to keep Blazer healthy. The other bichon Yoshi, was especially close to me so I paid special attention to her(I loved all 3 dogs). I bought her a coat to wear outside even though all 3 dogs weren't bothered by the weather too much. I did that because she was the only female & was the oldest bichon. When she had to be put to sleep last July 8th 2016, my wife & I spent time with her in the euthanization room for about 1/2 hr then we both placed our hands on her while the vet put her to sleep. When Blazer was put to sleep June 8th 2016, we were in Florida visiting my wife's brother in a nursing home. when the Vet contacted us & told us that they recommend that we give the ok to have Blazer put to sleep, my wife asked that we be put on the speaker phone so we could say goodbye to Blazer. Without a shadow of doubt we both love our dogs
